It is well known that Mr. Worrell has done more to upbuild Murfreesboro in the past few years than almost any man in bur midst, j The peo ple are not unappreciatrve of hisefforts and dei-ds.

(Communicated. ) j Editor Enquirer: I have been a little surprised as well as amused of late by the appearance of a letter in the Norfolk Virginian in regard to a candidate for the mayor of our town. I am informed that one also appeared in the Raleigh Observer Of the same purport. As to the author or authors of these letters I must confess that I am gnbrant, but ven ture it is someone who is i little calculated to reflect the true character and sentiments of the intelligent people of Murfreesboro. For several years back- the government of Murfreesboro has been simply nominal (scarcely that.; For sometime back the town has rapidly improved, and it whs thought wise to attempt to take some teps to improve its laws as well as the town. It was decided to aak Ahe late ijegUlature to amend our incorporation act sons to have a Mayor and Councilmen, who would en deavor to make and carry diitsome laws of the town. I think you, Mr . Editor, drew the bdl and the Legislature ireadilv granted our petition. The question then arose a mong our citizens as to . who were the prop er persons to make and execute the necef sary lawg of out town. The question is still in agitation. No. convention has been held nor have any persons bVeii nominated that I amawaM of . Yet,K ih's newspaper writer (or wri'ers) would leave the Impres sion upon the poblifr mind that his candi date (for some reasons his, of which! will not speak,) is the favorite of the people for this office. j In the first place, I would like to ask him (or them) who of the peop!e is his candi date the favorite? In tbe second place, I would ask him (or them) is j his candidate indeed the -favorite of the; citizens! who JnruldJtate Seme opinion in this matter.. Th-is correspondent (or these correson dents) should remember that there are num bers of men, who ai e doubtles gentlemen Caa is Col. Pipkin) possessing fine military Utandins" &cii and vet for 1 some outside circumstance, are better adapted to ret'red lifp than to public turmoil. Feeling an interest in Col Pipkin, as I believe every trtle citizer in Murfreesboro does, I regret that lie allowed his pame to be brought be fore the public under the, present influ-J enea. and must say that my influence humble as it mayj be, will be used for the regular nominee of the town convention, which is generally tLougbt will be in the person of E. C. Worrell. - i i I Onncra. Murfreesboro, N C V 31arch, 30th. OUR CHO WAN LETTER. EdKntost, N. C, March 23rd, 1877. i Editor Enqu 'rer : :,. The streets of our city have presented quijte a lively appearance during the past fevy days. As you doubtless know the Dis trict Semi annual (convention of the I, O. T., has been going on from Tuesday morning until last eyemcg t Friday.) Eve rything has passed off (with one exception) peaceabiy and all the delegates with whom we have f ot med an acquaintance, express themselves as highy delighted with their visit to oar little town, so much noted for its location, scenery and its pretty young 1 adieu. To the credit of the differeut lotlgea represented in this convention, we must say, that they showed much taste in thej selection of their-representatives all of whom I am glad to be able to say be- haed in a most There were, aldo t gentlemanly manner, uite a number of fine looking young ladies iir" attendance all of whpni fceemei to enjoy themselves and re flected much credit upon the order. A thoiugh tbere was quite a crowd sti 1 the nuiinber was not near as large as was ex pected and for the comfortable reception of jivhom preparations had been made. We are giad to say that many nave ex pressed themselves as delighted with our place and pleased with the hospitality of the inhabitants. To !show their merited appreciation of the visiting young ladies and gentlemen., of Edenlon gave a balL last niglit where all who wished could join in the merry dance one of; the most agreeable methods of tak in.i a little exercise with which we have evei become acquainted. It affords us' pleasure to state that eveiylhig passed off as agreeably rs could have been wished. Owingj to the bad weather. 'and to the fact that the. convention did not aujouru until late atjnight, the attendance of the stran gers was very limited much to the sorrow aud disappointment of those who bad f-hared no pains in their power to make the daiice one of decided success and enjojr- ment to all . Among those present - who seemed to eu joyjit very much we 'may. mention Misses Hayes and NurnH of (jSatesville and Mit-s Bell of Camden Co.: and with justice to li the 3Tr4ng ladies we will state lhat their presence 1 nt much to the enjoyment of Lothtss.! There were also in attendance sev eral youhir gentlemen from differeut parts Vxf the district among them Mr. of tiatis Co.. and Mr. Samuel Wright of Northampton Co., who seemed to while away the time quite pleasantly. We would be glad to meet these young ladles and gentlemen on similar occasions here after, j They! arc now preparing to return home, and Ed&nton will seem quite lonely and dull after a few days of such liveliness. 't here is no other news in Edenton. Thej fishing business is improving slowly' but doe not compare with the numbers caught at tbis time of the reason during previous r T - years. i.
